2013 Other Games Around the League (Part I)

[Gene Parmesan]

Yeah definitely an accident, rode him into the boards and his skate just came down on it. Karlsson had to be helped to the locker room.

Just saw it..routine play that had an unfortunate outcome.

 

[Grave]

Careless with his skate if nothing else. Typical Cooke.

 

[magic school bus]

Total accident. Sucks that it had to happen to such a great, young player.

Fasth is this year's Niemi watch Anaheim win a cup with him.

Just goes to show you, there is no point in drafting a goalie.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Fasth is this year's Niemi watch Anaheim win a cup with him.

Of course the 3rd California cup win would be a socal team winning their 2nd cup.

 

[Timo Time]

Fasth is this year's Niemi watch Anaheim win a cup with him.

Then the Ducks won't resign him after this year so DW can get him. Love those Cup winning goalies

I don't find the Karlsson/Cooke incident dirty, just unfortunate and cringe-worthy all the way. It was an attempt to pin that went horribly wrong, IMO.

I am just trying ot understand why he would finish a check with his left foot 12" off the ice? That isn't to call it dirty, but at the very least it was really careless.

 

[Alwalys]

What I can't understand is why players don't wear the cutproof socks.

It looks unintentional to me and the outcry seems disproportionate, but then I think that to those people Matt Cooke is like Raffi Torres and if Raffi did this to say Patty, we'd be beside ourselves. We'd be going on and on about how somehow this always happens to Raffi.

But probable reality is, hated players are those that play the game physically hard. They take the body and finish checks, so that's why they get involved in these situations seemingly more often.

It looked more like a pin attempt than a hit. I agree that hated players are usually involved in these situations.

Watch the Stars vs Flames game tonight and see what we've been missing lately. It's 3 to 6 in the 2nd. Seems like all PP's have converted a goal so far.

It wasn't finishing a check as much as it was an attempt to pin Karlsson to the boards (just my opinion). I've seen our own Sharks end up with their knee on a guy's butt on a few occasions. Murray has used this from time to time. What I feel Cooke was trying to do was place his foot between Karlsson's, after riding him to the boards, and completely misjudged where Karlsson's leg was.

After watching SJ games. This feels like basketball.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

It just hit me how much the Karlsson injury really sucks for all of the NHL, I can only imagine how Sens fans are feeling. Players like him don't come around very often, and I hope like hell that he comes back at 100% (which I hear is very possible for an achilles injury).

 

[CrazedZooChimp]

Man, this Lightning-Panthers game is a lot more fun than most recent Sharks games . That makes me sad. Go Goc Go!

There is also like 7 people at this game.

Wrong. Everywhere but the stupid Club Red section is pretty much full. Also, 3:30 games usually get a few less people.

I was looking at center ice and a large chunk of that section was empty.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Those 3 sections behind the bench almost dead center are empty every game in Florida.

They've obviously priced those tickets higher than the fans are willing to pay.

 

[Lazyking]

That is where club red is. its all corporate buyers watching elsewhere or no where at all.

[Gene Parmesan]

The anthem singer in Montreal has the worst haircut ever.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Honestly, I'm starting to watch more EC games simply because they're so much more entertaining than WC games.

 

[Rickety Cricket]

My bad about the Panthers.

Frazer McLaren now has more goals than Clowe.

 

[LeeIFBB]

Clowe blows.
Fire Guod Wilson.
